European leaders are meeting in Hungary for the European Political Community Summit – with the US election likely top of the agenda.

Among the impacts of the election include Donald Trump’s lack of keenness to Europe, and talks of tariffs.

But UK correspondent Gavin Grey told Heather du Plessis-Allan the biggest concern is what he’ll do with donating to Ukraine, and whether Europe will need to step up even more.

Meanwhile, UK Labour MP Mike Amesbury has been suspended from the party after video emerged of him appearing to punch a man to the ground with a court date looming.

Gavin Grey: Europe correspondent on leaders discussing impact of US election at summit in Hungary

Asia is bracing for tariffs from Donald Trump’s election victory.

The President-elect is proposing adding up to 20 percent on import tariffs, but is also vowing to impose 60 percent on Chinese imports.

But Asia business correspondent Peter Lewis told Heather du Plessis-Allan Asia has been preparing for this for a couple of years now.

He says some economists reckon this could knock 2.5 percentage points off of China’s GDP, and Japan and South Korea could also get dragged into the crosshairs.

Lewis says there's also a lot of questions around security - as Trump calls for countries to pay more for Taiwan's defence.
